To answer my own question:

Well, it copies from /usr/share/grub and /lib/grub to /boot/grub, and 
the sum of those directories are 270M without any kernels, etc 
installed. I guess I'm going to have to tarball everything up, 
repartition, and untar it.

I guess I'll have to remember to use 500M+ /boot partitions now. Sigh.
